Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by

Not sure how long I'll keep this up. It's a very tough list to make, and it is certainly inconsistent with my yearly charts. Basically this is just currently what 100 albums I would keep (and in a rough order) if I could only keep 100 albums. Trying not to think too hard about number scores for each.
